'A similar visually arresting architectural intervention but with a more

scientific approach and eye can be read within the project 'Spectre Beacon'

by Jessica Lloyd-Jones: fascinated by exposing connections between sea,

technology and man, she uses the lighthouse, its history, function and

mystery as a metaphor for an exchange between science fiction and science

fact.  As evening falls radiance emerges from a disused lighthouse, its

reactive glow captured from the sun, emerging as a ‘memory’ of the day’s

light. This light reactive work corresponds with her research into

bioluminescence, mimicking a biological phenomenon and shifting it into a

stationary, architectural form, at once a statement on beacons of safety,

signals of living materials.' -Alex Hetherington
